Summer is the time to relax, have some fun, and plan a spontaneous trip. Can you believe that it’s already half way over? Now is the time for you to plan a last minute vacation! Don’t settle for soaking up the sun at your local beach when you can easily have a real getaway. Here are some great tips from abcnews.go.com/travel to finding cheap flights at the last minute to get you started on summer adventures.
1. Use Your Miles -or someone else’s
Pretty self-explanatory. If you don’t have enough though, ask a family or friend . Some airline programs allow you to buy points, offer partial miles and cash payment options. Tip: You can have a combination of using some mile points and cash.
2. Call the Airline – it doesn’t hurt to try
Ask them if they have any options for last minute flights that wouldn’t normally be found online. Caution – the call may cost you a $25 fee. This one might be a longshot, but sometimes airlines allow the agents to make decisions for certain situations.
3. Stay a Few Days (especially a Saturday night)
Some airlines add a minimum-stay requirement of one /two nights (this may include a Saturday night), in which case….do it.
4. Check Prices on Low-Cost Airlines (for better last-minute fares)
Overall, lower base-price for last-minute travelers can be found at travel comparison sites where they checkout the prices for you. Sites such as bookingbuddy.com .
With BookingBuddy you can save up to 50% on flights and they are always popping up with sales and discounts. You can find and book cheap flights, hotels, vacation packages, car rentals, cruises, and more with BookingBuddy.
